Laurence J. Peter

    September 16, 1919 – January 12, 1990

    This author delves into the study of hierarchies and their impact on human behavior and organizations. His work often examines how systems can foster or impede progress and efficiency. A key theme is understanding how individuals navigate these structures and how they can be optimized. His insights offer valuable perspectives on the dynamics of power and management.

    The Peter Principle
    • In a very tongue in cheek sense of humor, The Peter Principle explains the how and why that if a person stays within a hierarchy long enough they will eventually be promoted to their level of incompetence. Think about it, if you are doing a good job at your current position, it will make you eligible for promotion. This can continue until you hit the level where you are no longer doing a good job. The final chapter also describes how one can avoid being promoted to that level without being fired.
